We release xen every 2nd (even numbered) release as a goal (4.4, 4.6, 4.8)
We don't normally release anything other than security updates. This is
a SIG that requires community participation .. so far, George Dunlap and
I are really the only people contributing.
This is volunteer work for both of us. We could stand some more volunteers.
In any event, the updates we release come from here:
https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/
When they release an XSA, we incorporate it and do a new release.
Support for older releases will be done (currently by only me ..
volunteers welcome) based on this schedule:
https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Release_Features
So, we will support 4.4 on CentOS-6 until 'March 2017' and 4.6 on
CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 until 'Oct 2018 '. When the xen project stops
supporting a version, we will also stop supporting it.
